I'll never forget that first time a saw a New Orleans Mardi Gras
Indian. I was driving home while the sun was setting and there was
a flash of orange feathers. My heart jumped. I didn't take many
photos that day, just three. Then, I handed my camera to some
people with the Indians to take my picture with them. I was
enamored from the start. Previous pictures I saw of the Indians
focused on the suits blocking out the faces. With the incredible
amount of work and art that went into these suits, I felt it was
important to include the faces of these artists. It felt like it
was no longer my art. It was an extension of what they were doing,
and a way to honor what they had created. Their art is expensive
and hard to do, and it isn't done for monetary gain. I admire that,
and I relate. And over time we got to know each other very well.
The Indians began asking me to come out with them to take pictures.
The Black Feathers had me document the images of my monograph Let's
Go Get Em' on St. Joseph's Night, when the Indians come out after
sunset.

This book reveals how, when, where and why vitalism and its
relationship to new scientific theories, philosophies and concepts
of energy became seminal from the fin de siecle until the Second
World War for such Modernists as Sophie Tauber-Arp, Hugo Ball,
Juliette Bisson, Eva Carriere, Salvador Dali, Robert Delaunay,
Marcel Duchamp, Edvard Munch, Picasso, Yves Tanguy, Gino Severini
and John Cage. For them Vitalism entailed the conception of life as
a constant process of metamorphosis impelled by the free flow of
energies, imaginings, intuition and memories, unconstrained by
mechanistic materialism and chronometric imperatives, to generate
what the philosopher Henri Bergson aptly called Creative Evolution.
Following the three main dimensions of Vitalist Modernism, the
first part of this book reveals how biovitalism at the fin de
siecle entailed the pursuit of corporeal regeneration through
absorption in raw nature, wholesome environments, aquatic
therapies, electromagnetism, heliotherapy, modern sports,
particularly rugby; water sports, the Olympic Games and physical
culture to energize the human body and vitalize its life force.
This is illuminated by artists as geoculturally diverse as Gustave
Caillebotte, Thomas Eakins, Munch and Albert Gleizes. The second
part illuminates how simultaneously vitalism became aligned with
anthroposophy, esotericism, magnetism, occultism, parapsychology,
spiritism, theosophy and what Bergson called "psychic states",
alongside such new sciences as electromagnetism, radiology and the
Fourth Dimension, as captured by such artists as Juliette Bisson,
Giacomo Balla, Albert Besnard, Umberto Boccioni, Eva Carriere, John
Gerrard Keulemans, Laszlo Mohology-Nagy, James Tissot, Albert von
Schrenck Notzing and Picasso. During and after the devastation of
the First World War, the third part explores how Vitalism,
particularly Bergson's theory of becoming, became associated with
Dadaist, Neo-Dadaist and Surrealist notions of amorality,
atemporality, dysfunctionality, entropy, irrationality, inversion,
negation and the nonsensical captured by Hans Arp, Charlie Chaplin,
Theo Van Doesburg, Kazimir Malevich, Kurt Schwitters and Vladimir
Tatlin alongside Cage's concept of Nothing. After investigating the
widespread engagement with Bergson's philosophies, Vitalism and art
by Anarchists, Marxists and Communists during and after the First
World War, it concludes with the official rejection of Bergson and
any form of Vitalism in the Soviet Union under Stalin. This book
will be of vital interest to gallery, exhibition and museum
curators and visitors plus readers and scholars working in art
history, art theory, cultural studies, modernist studies, occult
studies, European art and literature, health, histories of science,
philosophy, psychology, sociology, sport studies, heritage studies,
museum studies and curatorship.
This book is a critical interdisciplinary approach to the study of
contemporary visual culture and image studies, exploring ideas
about space and place and ultimately contributing to the debates
about being human in the digital age. The upward and downward pull
seem in a constant contest for humanity's attention. Both forces
are powerful in the effects and affects they invoke. When tracing
this iconological history, Amanda du Preez starts in the early
nineteenth century, moving into the twentieth century and then
spanning the whole century up to contemporary twenty-first century
screen culture and space travels. Du Preez parses the intersecting
pathways between Heaven and Earth, up and down, flying and falling
through the concept of being "spaced out". The idea of being
"spaced out" is applied as a metaphor to trace the visual history
of sublime encounters that displace Earth, gravity, locality,
belonging, home, real life, and embodiment. The book will be of
interest to scholars working in art history, visual culture, media
and cultural studies, phenomenology, digital culture, mobility
studies, and urban studies.
A carefully crafted selection of essays from international experts,
this book explores the effect of colonial architecture and space on
the societies involved - both the colonizer and the colonized.
Focusing on British India and Ceylon, the essays explore the
discursive tensions between the various different scales and
dimensions of such 'empire-building' practices and constructions.
Providing a thorough exploration of these tensions, Colonial
Modernities challenges the traditional literature on the
architecture and infrastructure of the former European empires, not
least that of the British Indian 'Raj'. Illustrated with
seventy-five halftone images, it is a fascinating and thoroughly
grounded exposition of the societal impact of colonial architecture
and engineering.

Is it appropriate to honour and admire people who have created
great works of art, made important intellectual contributions,
performed great sporting feats, or shaped the history of a nation
if those people have also acted immorally? This book provides a
philosophical investigation of this important and timely question.
The authors draw on the latest research from ethics, value theory,
philosophy of emotion, social philosophy, and social psychology to
develop and substantiate arguments that have been made in the
public debates about this issue. They offer a detailed analysis of
the nature and ethics of honour and admiration, and present reasons
both in favour and against honouring and admiring the immoral. They
also take on the important matter of whether we can separate the
achievements of public figures from their immoral behaviour.
Ultimately, the authors reject a "onesize-fits-all" approach and
argue that we must weigh up the reasons for and against honouring
and admiring in each particular case. Honouring and Admiring the
Immoral is written in an accessible style that shows how philosophy
can engage with public debates about important ethical issues. It
will be of interest to scholars and students working in moral
philosophy, philosophy of emotion, and social philosophy.
Edited by leading scholars in the field, this collection brings
together contributors from around the globe and includes
international examples and case studies. The multi-disciplinary
approach makes it particularly suited for a number of undergraduate
and postgraduate courses in sculpture, public art and social
practice, art history, cultural geography and cultural studies,
performance, visual culture, design theory, architecture, landscape
architecture, urban design, arts administration, museum studies,
and city planning. Engages with contemporary issues including the
Black Lives Matter protest and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic
on arts education and public art.
Drawing from the work of Dewey, Wittgenstein and Heidegger, this
book aims to relate a series of philosophic insights to the
practice of engaging in design research for change. These insights
are explored and presented as a set of potential strategies for
grounding transformative design research within an intellectual
context which both embraces and celebrates experience, process and
uncertainty. Chapter by chapter, through theory, practical examples
and case studies, an accessible narrative opens up around the
coupled themes of existence and experience, language and meaning
and knowing and truth. The outcome is a rich and detailed
perspective on the ways in which philosophy may afford design
research for change a means to both explain, as well as understand,
not only what it is and what it does, but also what it could be.
The book will be of interest to scholars working in design studies,
design theory and design research.
In the 1960s, art patrons Dominique and Jean de Menil founded an
image archive showing the ways that people of African descent have
been represented in Western art from the ancient world to modern
times. Highlights from the image archive, accompanied by essays
written by major scholars, appeared in three large-format volumes,
consisting of one or more books, that quickly became collector's
items. A half-century later, Harvard University Press and the Du
Bois Institute are proud to have republished five of the original
books and to present five completely new ones, extending the series
into the twentieth century. The Impact of Africa, the first of two
books on the twentieth century, looks at changes in the Western
perspective on African art and the representation of Africans, and
the paradox of their interpretation as simultaneously "primitive"
and "modern." The essays include topics such as the new medium of
photography, African influences on Picasso and on Josephine Baker's
impression of 1920s Paris, and the influential contribution of
artists from the Caribbean and Latin American diasporas.
Offers a comprehensive overview of Greek and Roman figural imagery,
counterbalancing studies conducted on single genres. It examines
case-studies in six major production categories: Greek painted
pottery, Roman decorated walls, Greek gravestones, Roman
sarcophagi, Greek and Roman official sculpture, and Greek and Roman
coins.
This volume traces the interconnections between myth,
environmentalism, narrative, poetry, comics and innovative artistic
practice, using this as a framework through which to examine
strategies for repairing our unhealthy relationship with the
planet. Challenging late capitalist modes encouraging mindless
consumption and the degradation of human-nature relations, this
collection advocates a re-evaluation of the ethical relation to
"living with" and sharing the earth. Myth and the environment have
shared a rich common cultural history travelling as far back as the
times of storytelling and legend, with the environment often the
central theme. Following a robust introduction, the book is
organised into three main sections: Myth, Disaster and Present-Day
Views on Ecological Damage; Indigenous and Afro-Diasporic Myths and
Ecological Knowledge; Art Practices Myth and Environmental
Resilience; and concludes with a Coda from Jeanette Hart-Mann. The
methodology draws from diverse perspectives, such as ecocriticism,
new materialism and Anthropocene studies, offering a truly
interdisciplinary discussion that reflects on the dialogue among
environment and myth, whilst a broad range of contributions are
included from Canada, United States, the Caribbean, Ukraine, Japan,
Morocco, and Brazil. This volume will be of interest for students,
scholars, activists and experts in environmental humanities, myth
and myth criticism, literature and art on more-than human and
nature interaction, ecocriticism, environmental activism, and
climate change.
This book poses a simple question: how is this architecture
possible? To respond, it will embark on a captivating journey
through many singular architectural concepts. The entasis of Doric
columns, Ulysses and desert islands will outline an architectural
act that moves beyond representation. A ferryman who stutters will
present two different types of architectural minds. A stilus and a
theory of signs will reconsider the ways architects can develop a
particular kind of intuition, while architectural technicities will
bring forth a membranic and territorial understanding of
architecture. Finally, as a melody that sings itself, a larval
architecture will be introduced, bringing space and time together.
Assisting this endeavour, the thought of philosophers like Gilles
Deleuze, Felix Guattari, Gilbert Simondon and Raymond Ruyer will
meet the latest developments in fields like affect theory,
cognitive sciences, environmental studies and neuroanthropology.
Eventually, by the end of this book, the readers - from
architecture students and researchers to academics and
practitioners with an interest in theory - will have been exposed
to a comprehensive and original philosophy of architecture and the
built environment.
This book examines how contemporary artists have engaged with
histories of nature, geology, and extinction within the context of
the changing planet. Susan Ballard describes how artists challenge
the categories of animal, mineral, and vegetable-turning to a
multispecies order of relations that opens up a new vision of what
it means to live within the Anthropocene. Considering the work of a
broad range of artists including Francisco de Goya, J. M. W.
Turner, Robert Smithson, Nancy Holt, Yhonnie Scarce, Joyce
Campbell, Lisa Reihana, Katie Paterson, Taryn Simon, Susan Norrie,
Moon Kyungwon and Jeon Joonho, Ken + Julia Yonetani, David Haines
and Joyce Hinterding, Angela Tiatia, and Hito Steyerl and with a
particular focus on artists from Australia and Aotearoa New
Zealand, this book reveals the emergence of a planetary aesthetics
that challenges fixed concepts of nature in the Anthropocene. The
book will be of interest to scholars working in art history, visual
culture, narrative nonfiction, digital and media art, and the
environmental humanities.
Art, value, law--the links between these three terms mark a history
of struggle in the cultural scene. Studies of contemporary culture
have thus increasingly turned to the image as central to the
production of legitimacy, aesthetics and order." Judging the Image"
extends the cultural turn in legal and criminological studies by
interrogating our responses to the image. This book provides a
space to think through problems of ethics, social authority, and
the legal imagination. Concepts of memory and interpretation,
violence and aesthetic, authority and legitimacy are considered in
a diverse range of sites, including:
* body, performance, and regulation
* judgment, censorship, and controversial artworks
* graffiti and the aesthetics of public space
* HIV and the art of the disappearing body
* witnessing, ethics, and the performance of suffering
* memorial images--art in the wake of disaster.
This book will be fascinating reading for students and academics
working at the crossroads of aesthetics, crime, law, and culture.
Includes discussion of works of art of all kinds, including
painting, literature, music and architecture. Interdisciplinary
analysis of the significance of art to the psyche.
